We Will Keen 1t Up.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Keep it MP. Ring the changes the non.
sense of teaching German in the public schools.
OF all the foreigners who come to this country
to become citizens, none are better than the
German. They generally attend to their own
affairs and become property-owners.
When they make up their minds to abandon
the fatherland, they should also determine to
change their mother tongue. This is the only
nation with SO wide domain in which one can
travel in all its parts without an interpreter.
1t should always continue go. What nation Of
Europe would for a moment think of taxing the
people to teach the language of another country2
But there is stronger reason still against this
nonsense. There is not an American pupil in
our schools who can use German intellieibly.
They can parrot" few sentences, and that is
ALL Let any one who talks German try it
on the pupils any morning they flock to
the schools. have done it often, and when
you try other than the sentences they have
learned by rote. just to make a show on exam
ination, they will say: "Oh, l haven't learned
that yet" Intelligent Germans know that this
is only a concession made to them for political
influence, and in their secret conscience they
despise for it. 1t is wrong the tax
payer, and was never contemplated in Section !,
Article 8. of our Constitution, the basis Of our
comm school system. That section is as fol-
lows:

wherein tuition shall be without charge, and

1t is no improvement of the intellect to learn
to say Itch liebe dch. when al love thee" is so
much more melodious and is said with little

It, To think in any language must not
hesitate for forms of expression. To arrive at
this proficiency in another tongue one must
spend years in family with persons who
constantly speak the language to be learned. So
far the German children are concerned, it is
their aim to learn to speak the English language
We'll. They learn their native tongue at home.

A MAN OF BONE.
L Fortified Skeleton Who Is Hale and
Hearty Though Uncomfortably Stiff.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
The Bowery is fairly tattooed with freaks the
year round, and 1t is not unusual thing to
meet whole troops of freaks seeking their
homes at late hour of the night 1t takes
most unheard-of freak TO astonish the Bowery,
but this week all the dime museums but one
are jealousy coveting the ''Ossifed Man" A
reporter for this paper granted inter
view to-day by this freak whose name is Jona-
than r. Bass. The "Ossifed Man" has diverted
public attention from the Albino. the tattooed
sailor and his tattooed dog, and the Spanish
dwarf, to himself so completely that these other
freaks have become moody and Respondent.
1.-THE tOssifed Man" weighs sixty nine pounds
and, as his title implies. has hardened into one
bone, bonier than Sarah Bernhardt, and stiff as
the ramrod of Springfield rife. A poster on
the wall of the museum tells the public that
Mr.. Bass at the susceptible age of seventeen fell
in love with village maiden named Carrie
Jones, and took her rejection so much to heart
that he went to bed and has not got up since to
spite her. But the cold fact is. well attested by
medical records, that Mr.. Bass studded his toe
in a potatoe patch ut the age of seventeen. and
received an abrasion which result ted in a species
of lock-iaw extending through his entire frame.
For thirty years Mr.. Bass has lain on the same
old farmhouse bed, and until lately was taken
care of by his folks. An advance freak agent,
while walking railroad ties near Lockport,
in this State. where Mr.. Bass lives. heard of his
fame and secured him for the Bowery. The
''Ossifed Man. was at once put on baggage
car. bed and all. and billed through. 1t is not
exactly treat to see Mr.. Bass, although he is a
curiosity. The only parts of his body which
have not become ossifed are the toes and fingers
from which the bones seem to have fallen
away mysteriously. The freaks appearance is
that of New England farmer who has been
trying for thirty years to make a living out of a
hill farm in a back settlement
He is a human skeleton petrifed. His spine
is so rigid that he only be raised to his feet
like clothes-line pole. His appetite. however,
is marvellous. and he likes to eat. He is fifty
seven years old. and has lots of life in him yet.
In answer to questions of the reporter, he said
that, as a boy he sinewy wrestler and
cat-like jumper; that he was the best catcher
around Lockport in the infancy of the national
game; that he is Democrat and will vote for
Cleveland next summer if he has to be carried
to the polls; that he has no particular religion.
although he believes in hereafter for an ossi-
fed man. and that he never gets Respondent
'because it's no use.'
Mr.. Bass is altogether most cheerful and
engaging specimen of petrifaction
